Catch .44
It's sad, isn't it?
I've been working
with you seven years.
Seven years.
Hyah!
Hyah!
# If you lay her there #
# At the bar across the room #
# With her paint
and perfume... #
... and that is the secret.
That's the secret?
- Yep.
- Yeah, she's right, Tes.
Everybody knows that already.
Yeah, why don't you tell us another one?
Fine.
Secret number two: fake it.
That's definitely not a secret.
It kinda is.
All right, so how does
that relate to what we're doing now?
I'll tell you.
See, most women apply
secret number two to one thing...
sex. The rest of the time
we're too real.
Too real because it's
in our nature to be real,
which ultimately
is a woman's downfall.
living in man's land.
Whoa! Who the f***
wants to live in man's land?
We're already living in it, guys.
All right, wait wait, let me
ask you a question then.
Would you be faking it
if you compromise?
'Cause you can't fake
compromise.
You half can.
What the f***
does that mean?
Compromise is half faking.
'Cause if you weren't compromising half
you would have it all, in which case
you wouldn't be faking.
You would be taking.
For example,
guys compromise when they
leave the toilet seat down.
They do it because
they know they can't win.
And I'm not faking it
'cause I don't pretend not to mind
when they do leave
the toilet seat up... because I do.
Slow it down. How is that
a compromise on your end?
Yeah, and I thought that
you said we should fake it?
It's a compromise because I'd fake
other things to get my way.
Or I'd take away the p*ssy.
What are you even talking about?
I think
you're confusing yourself.
No no, I think it's just
too complicated for you to understand.
No, it's not at all.
I get what you're saying.
I just don't agree with you.
To me compromising
is not faking.
Fine. Then we'll just agree
to disagree.
Or we could agree that I'm right
because that's a compromise.
Tell you what:
I'll fake it
and we can agree on that.
Okay.
But you're compromising
I can explain it to you
if it's too complicated.
I think she got you
on that one, Tes, sorry.
Thanks.
Hey'
Kara!
- What?
- Quit staring at that guy.
- I'm not staring.
- Yeah, you are staring.
Do you know what the word
"conspicuous" means?
Or do you want me to explain
that to you as well?
- Kara, stop staring.
- I'm not conspicuous.
We're the only girls in here
with all our teeth.
We're very f***ing conspicuous.
Okay, but what if that's our guy?
I mean, didn't Mel...
Do you see
an orange rig outside?
What do you guys think
about Harry and Sally?
What about them?
You don't worry about them, Kara.
They're harmless.
So what if we missed him?
We spent, what? 20 minutes
with Deputy Elmore.
What if he came and left?
Kara:
So, Tes, what are we doing?
Do you have a plan?
Mel did say 2:
30.All right.
So I'm guessing she runs the place.
And there's no way
this sh*t goes down here
without her getting a piece of the pie.
it's her.
Okay.
Okay, great, I'll take her.
- Let's find out what she knows.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'll take the door.
- Guess I got the trucker.
I'm not even gonna say it
'cause you all know what this is.
- You be cool, Billy Bob.
- Who drives the truck and where is it?
I said which one of you shitkickers
knows where the f***ing truck is?
# I... #
# Don't wanna know your name #
# 'Cause you don't look the same #
# The way you did before #
# Okay #
# You think you got a pretty face #
# But the rest of you is out of place #
# You looked all right before #
# Fox on the run #
# You scream
# A-running,
take a run and hide #
# Yourself away #
# Foxy on the run #
# Foxy,
fox on the run #
# And hide away #
# You... #
# You talk about
just every band #
# But the names you drop
are secondhand #
# I've heard it all before... #
Kara?
# I... #
Kara.
# Don't want
to know your name... #
What? Did you just
get out of the shower?
Yeah.
What the f*** have you been doing
for the last hour?
I've been taking a shower.
What have you been doing?
I've been putting gas in the car
so we can get the f*** out of here!
All right, dude.
Stop giving me sh*t.
Get yourself ready.
Tes is going to be pissed.
# Oh yeah... #
See ya, peaches.
# I'm up on the 11th floor
and I'm watching the cruisers below #
- # He's down on the street... #
- See ya.
# Oh, my heart's
in the basement... #
Hey, I'm on my way out.
I'll see you in a minute.
# 'Cause she's hoping to score
so I can't see her letting him go #
# Walk out of her heart,
walk out... #
Excuse me, excuse me.
Uh, you're very pretty.
Look, you're not a...
- No.
- Well, I just saw you back there
and I thought maybe...
I'm sorry. My nam...
my name's David.
Well, Dave.
My friends call me Dave.
Now I know what to call out.
- Look, do you need a ride somewhere?
- Does it look like I need a ride?
I don't know, do you?
You know what actually, Dave?
Um, my cell phone
ran out of batteries.
Do you have one
that I could borrow?
- Yeah yeah, sure.
- Great.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Mmm.
I forgot the number.
Thanks anyway.
It's very sweet of you.
Maybe I'll
see ya around sometime.
# So I lay down awhile
and I gaze at my hotel wall... #
What was all that about?
F***ing jerkoff thought
he could pick me up.
- No.
- So I thought
we could use some gas money.
F***ing jerkoff
tried to pick me up and f*** me
for 45 f***ing bucks.
Wow.
It's 40 more than I'd pay
for your ass.
Ha ha.
- I'm just saying.
- # And I'm phoning a cab #
# 'Cause my stomach feels small,
there's a taste in my mouth. #
So what's the deal?
The deal is we're going
to some shitty isolated diner.
- Where?
Why would Mel
send us over there?
He's never sent us
out of the parish before.
'Cause something big
has come up.
Apparently someone's running
Who?
Don't know,
but Mel doesn't like it.
There's a driver who's picking up
a preloaded rig down in the Gulf.
He brings it up the 220 and delivers
who's waiting with the cash.
- Who's the driver?
- That's where we come in.
Mel wants us to get
ahold of the shipment
and find out who the pickup is.
Which brings me to the best part
of this whole operation:
neither man knows the other.
They only know where the diner is.
So driver A isn't going
to do something stupid
and risk getting caught
with a load of dope.
He'll just drive away.
And same goes for B.
I mean the last thing he's going
to do is go crying to the feds
about his drug money
getting ripped off.
We just make sure
and wait for one of them to show.
Hey!
What?
I was listening.
Other side of the river. Fine.
It's fine?
It's a big f***ing deal, Kara,
